A/N: I don't own any Spyro characters used in this story. I only own Sappier, Valentine, Forest, Mist, Bolt and Amber.

Also since today marks my two year anniversary of joining Fanfiction I've decided to write about Sappier as I seem to of not put her in many of my stories. So without further adieu I give to you The Flightless Dragoness.


Sappier sighed watching her sister and adoptive parents flying overhead.

The sapphire coloured dragoness with grey horns, tail tip, lime green wings, spikes and sky blue eyes looked down at her reflection, her bandaged wings reminding her of how different she really was to the other dragons.

A few moments later her sister Valentine a light pink electric dragoness with a darker pink heart on her forehead, blue horns that instead of pointing up point down in a backwards C shape, bright yellow wings, green spikes, tail tip and violet eyes landed.

"You ok?" she asked.

Sappier shrugged.

"I guess." she replied.

"I just wish I could fly." she whispered.

Valentine hugged her sister gently.

Sappier sighed.

"I'm going to read for a bit with Bolt." she said and went off.

Valentine sighed and returned to the sky.

Sappier sighed and walked until she reached the temple when she saw Valentine's boyfriend Forest fly off.

"No one would ever want a dragoness like me." she thought to herself.

She continued walking until she reached her room and locked herself inside.

After a few hours she had a knock on her door.

"Sappier are you ok?" a voice asked.

"Go away." Sappier replied crying.

On the other side of the door Spyro Sappier's adoptive father stepped back shocked by Sappier's outburst.

He sighed seeing she had locked the door.

A few minutes later an ivy coloured dragoness with has light green horns, wings, tail tip, spikes and eyes came over.

"She's locked herself in again Mist." Spyro said.

Mist nodded.

"Leave it to me." she said.

"Sappier it's Mist, I'm here to see how your wings are healing." she said gently.

"What's the point if I'm never going to fly again." Sappier shouted clearly upset.

Mist smiled warmly.

"What is the point of being a dragoness with no element?" she asked.

A few seconds later Sappier unlocked and opened her door.

By the look on her face she had been crying for a while.

Mist entered quietly.

Sappier laid on her stomach so Mist could examine her wings properly.

Once Mist had removed the bandages she could see Sappier's wing membranes were still cracked and broken in servile places while the skin around the membrane was still torn.

"Well Sappier I won't lie to you, your wings haven't seemed to healed any more since I saw them last." Mist said glumly.

Sappier sighed depressed.

"What use is a dragon if they can't fly?" she asked.

"Now don't give me that tone young one." Mist said.

Spyro walked over to the two.

"Has she been keeping her wings as still as possible?" Mist asked.

"As far as I know." Spyro replied.

Mist nodded as she put on some fresh bandages.

Sappier growled, even though Mist was being careful, she was in agony whenever she put bandages on.

"I'm almost done Sappier, just a few more moments." Mist said.

"It's ok Sappier it will be over soon." Spyro said trying to comfort his adoptive daughter.

"Ok done." Mist said stepping back.

Sappier only nodded thinking about her accident.

A few minutes later a dark yellow dragon with pail yellow wings, horns, spikes, tail tip green eyes and dark blue bolt shape across his left eye came in.

"Hey Bolt." Sappier sighed.

"Hey, I brought you the book you asked for." Bolt said giving Sappier a small book.

"Thanks Bolt." Sappier said.

"How're you wings?" Bolt asked.

Sappier shot Bolt a 'What do you think' look.

"Not any better." she replied.

Bolt sat down next to Sappier to keep her company.

"How are you finding your dad?" Sappier asked.

Bolt had a look of dread on his face.

"Well lets just say he goes on for a bit sometimes, especially at the most inappropriate times." he replied.

Sappier smiled.

Bolt examined Sappier's wings for a moment before speaking.

"I hope you don't find me rude when I ask this, but how did you do your wings in?" he asked.

Sappier sighed.

"I crash landed into a tree, thorn bush and rock simultaneously." she replied.

"How on earth did you do that?" Bolt asked.

"I've always been a bad flyer and I'm even worse at landing." Sappier replied.

"And before you ask yes it did hurt." she added.

Bolt nodded.

"I bet."

Sappier sighed once more and started to read the book.

Bolt stood up to leave.

"Hey Sappier, if you ever need a book or someone to talk to you know where I'll be." he said.

Sappier looked up and smiled.

"Thanks Bolt, if it wasn't for you I think I'd soon die of boredom." she said.

Bolt chuckled and left Sappier to her thoughts.

After a few hours Sappier noticed she wasn't alone in her room anymore.

"Oh I-I'm terribly sorry. I-I didn't realize this was someone's room." a light amber dragoness with light purple horns, six M shaped spikes, birch leaf shaped tail tip, wings and amber eyes stuttered.

Sappier smiled.

"Don't fret, you probably didn't know because of how quiet I was." she said with a faint chuckle.

The amber dragoness smiled nervously.

"Are you lost?" Sappier asked hoping she didn't sound rude.

The dragoness nodded.

"I-I'm trying to find the fire dojo." she replied.

Sappier started to think. She only knew where the ice dojo was.

She carefully sat up gritting her teeth in pain when her wings moved before needing to lie down again.

"I'm sorry." Sappier apologised.

"Do you need help?" the amber dragoness asked.

"No I'm just sorry I can't help you. I only know where the ice dojo is." Sappier replied.

"Ok thank you anyway, and err sorry for interupting you" the dragoness said and silently started to walk off.

"Don't worry you wern't interupting much, just reading about different forms of meditation." Sappier said.

The dragoness smiled.

"I'm Amber." she said.

"I'm Sappier." Sappier smiled.

"It was nice to meet you Sappire." Amber said.

"Same." Sappier agreed and went back to her reading.
